Creating Woodlands

Queen Bee, Carol R. Eaton, chose a Woodlands theme for The Printed Fabric Bee March theme. She wanted the hive to explore the woodlands around us on fabric. I live in the high desert country of the Rocky Mountains in Utah. Most of the woodlands around here are made up of what is "lovingly" called scrub oak.

It's not as pretty as the big oak trees I remember from back east, as it is more a bush than a tree, and it is not my favorite tree. I decided to search for another tree through my "neighborhood woodland." We have lots of birch, which are lovely, and there are some gorgeous black walnut trees, and some beautiful Mountain Ash but I kept finding myself drawn to the leaves of the maple tree.
